When a monomial ideal has linear quotients with respect to an admissible order of increasing support-degree, we provide two proofs of different flavors to show that it is componentwise support-linear. We also introduce the variable…

It is shown that if the ring of constants of a restricted differential Lie algebra with a quasi-Frobenius inner part satisfies a polynomial identity (PI) then the original prime ring has a generalized polynomial identitiy (GPI). If…

For polynomial ideals in positive charachteristic, defining $F$-split rings and admitting a squarefree monomial initial ideal are different notions. In this note we show that, however, there are strong interactions in both directions.…

We study the defining equations of the Rees algebra of square-free monomial ideals in a polynomial ring over a field. We determine that when an ideal $I$ is generated by $n$ square-free monomials of the same degree then $I$ has relation…

We give sign conditions on the support and coefficients of a sparse system of d generalized polynomials in d variables that guarantee the existence of at least one positive real root, based on degree theory and Gale duality. In the case of…

We present a randomized polynomial-time algorithm to generate a random integer according to the distribution of norms of ideals at most N in any given number field, along with the factorization of the integer. Using this algorithm, we can…

We exhibit a global bound for the Lyubeznik numbers of a ring of prime characteristic. In addition, we show that for a monomial ideal, the Lyubeznik numbers of the quotient rings of its radical and its polarization are the same.…

We provide a formula for $F$-thresholds of a Thom-Sebastiani type polynomial over a perfect field of prime characteristic. This result extends the formula for the $F$-pure threshold of a diagonal hypersurface. We also compute the first test…

The set of all m-tuples of compatible full conditional distributions on discrete random variables is an algebraic set whose defining ideal is a unimodular toric ideal. We identify the defining polynomials of these ideals with closed walks…

There is a natural one-to-one correspondence between squarefree monomial ideals and finite simple hypergraphs via the cover ideal construction. Let H be a finite simple hypergraph, and let J = J(H) be its cover ideal in a polynomial ring R.…

Over a field of characteristic zero, we prove that for each r, there exists a constant C(r) so that the prime ideal of the rth secant variety of any Veronese embedding of any projective space is generated by polynomials of degree at most…

We present a primality criterium based on congruences for cyclotomic polynomials, and point out a way to generalize our result in order to obtain a family of similar criteria. No practical use is aimed however.

We present a prime-generating polynomial $(1+2n)(p -2n) + 2$ where $p>2$ is a lower member of a pair of twin primes less than $41$ and the integer $n$ is such that $\: \frac {1-p}{2} < n < p-1$.

We determine sets of elements which, under certain conditions, generate an intersection of ideals up to radical.

Let $E\subset \mathbb Z$ be a set of positive upper density. Suppose that $P_1,P_2,..., P_k\in \mathbb Z[X]$ are polynomials having zero constant terms. We show that the set $E\cap (E-P_1(p-1))\cap ... \cap (E-P_k(p-1))$ is non-empty for…

With any integer convex polytope $P\subset\midR^n$ we associate a multivariate hypergeometric polynomial whose set of exponents is $\midZ^{n}\cap P.$ This polynomial is defined uniquely up to a constant multiple and satisfies a holonomic…

We study prime algebras of quadratic growth. Our first result is that if $A$ is a prime monomial algebra of quadratic growth then $A$ has finitely many prime ideals $P$ such that $A/P$ has GK dimension one. This shows that prime monomial…

In this article, we study binomial ideals generated by an arbitrary collection of corner-interval $2$-minors of a generic matrix. We determine the minimal prime ideals of such ideals and characterize their radicality in the special case of…

Let $k$ be an infinite field and $I\subset k [x_1, \ldots ,x_n]$ be an ideal such that dim $V(I)=q$. Denote by $(f_1, \ldots, f_s)$ a set of generators of $I$. One can see that in the set $I\cap k [x_{1},...,x_{q+1}]$ there exist non-zero…

We show that a not necessarily closed ideal in a C*-algebra is semiprime if and only if it is idempotent, if and only if it is closed under square roots of positive elements. Among other things, it follows that prime and semiprime ideals in…
